GREAT THINGS HAPPENING AT LGMS |
|
Congratulations to Emma Derrick, Emilyanne Giese, and Holly Sabaj (not pictured) members of the National Junior Honor Society at Lake Geneva Middle School who received Achievement Plus awards for truly going out of their way and beyond the requirements put in place by the NJHS by organizing, participating, and facilitating a Winter Supply Drive for the Twin Oaks Homeless Shelter. These students gave up many lunch hours and time after school to run a challenging, yet rewarding service project. |

STUDENT ABSENCES: When reporting your child out ill, please provide us with a detailed message with the exact symptoms your child is experiencing and how long they have had these symptoms. If your child is out of school due to COVID, please provide specific details including symptoms, if tested, or when they were exposed to a confirmed case of COVID. Thank you. To report an absence please call 262-348-3000 x3040.
STUDENT PICK UP: If you need to pick up your student during the day, we ask that you please send a note with your student in the morning with a time that you will be picking them up. That way we can write them a pass to hand to their teacher when it's time to leave. This avoids having to disrupt classes by calling in looking for a student. If you are giving your student permission to walk to an appointment, that must be stated in the note.
BUS PASSES: If your student will be riding the bus home with a friend, please send a letter in the morning indicating who he/she will be going home with. We will then issue a bus pass.

Late buses run as follows:
3:30 p.m. - Tuesdays and Thursdays
4:15 p.m. - Mondays through Thursdays
5:30 p.m. - Mondays through Fridays

STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP TRAFFIC PATTERN:
Please enter from the southwest end of the loop (closest to the football field). Parking will only be allowed on the curb side. Thank you for being patient during drop off and pick up times. This area gets very busy, and we want to make sure our students are safe.
DRESS CODE REVIEW
Please take a moment to review the Student Dress Code as outlined in the Student Handbook. The handbook is part of every student's agenda.

MENUS AND FOOD SERVICE INFORMATION |
|
Dear Lake Geneva Schools Families,
Lake Geneva Food Service is participating in the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) Seamless Summer Option (SSO) for the entirety of the 2021-22 school year. This means that our schools provide free meals to all students! This program provides additional support and flexibility for our district to continue serving meals to children while maintaining safety measures and managing the impacts of the COVI D-19 pandemic.
Included in the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are nationwide supply chain and product availability shortages. Disruptions are due to a lack of availability of raw ingredients and labor to produce, unload, and transfer food products. Some food and/or beverage products normally provided to students may not be available or arrive as scheduled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, last-minute menu changes and product substitutions may occur. Be assured meals will remain balanced, healthy, and plentiful. We ask for patience and understanding as we do our best to meet the needs of your children.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn Sanders
Food Service Coordinator
Lake Geneva Schools

Free Student Breakfast & Lunch |
Due to a nationwide waiver for the 2021-2022 school year, Lake Geneva Schools will again be offering a free breakfast and lunch to all students. Lake Geneva Schools students are eligible for one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch daily for the entire 2021-2022 school year. We encourage each student to take advantage of our nutritious meals at no cost. This will require no action on your part, just show up! Additional meals, milk, or a la carte purchases will be debited from the students' account. If your family has already paid toward your lunch balance we ask that you please leave the balance for future use. Thank you. |
